Apple's iOS 17.4 update will bring podcast audio transcription with multi-language support

Apple has announced that the upcoming iOS 17.4 update will bring an important new feature to the Podcasts app - audio transcription. This function can automatically convert the audio content in podcast programs into text, providing users with more diversified consumption options. This will make it easier for users to find and browse content on specific topics, as well as for those who prefer to read. The launch of this new feature will further enrich users’ experience in the Podcasts application and provide more personalized and convenient services.

In the early stages, the Podcasts app for iOS 17.4 will initially support audio transcription in English, French, German and Spanish. Apple plans to expand this service to more than 170 countries and regions including China in the future to meet the needs of a wider range of users.

It is understood that Apple detailed how the new feature works in its official statement. According to Apple, once a new podcast is released, the system will immediately launch the audio transcription program to generate the corresponding transcript. This way, users can access the content while listening to the program or later by reading the transcript. Of course, due to the needs of the processing process, there may be a certain time delay in generating the transcript.

In addition, Apple also emphasized that the transcription function of the Podcasts application is mainly applicable to the voice content of podcasts. If audio clips have been inserted into the program that alter the original content, or contain musical lyrics, these will not appear in the transcribed text. This is designed to ensure the accuracy and legibility of the transcribed text.

The above is the detailed content of Apple's iOS 17.4 update will bring podcast audio transcription with multi-language support. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
